Varauksilla

Varauksilla is a Finnish grammatical form and a common noun phrase rather than a standalone concept. It represents the inessive plural form of varaus, a noun that means booking, reservation, or the act of reserving. The inessive case, marked by the suffix -lla/-llä in the plural, denotes location or state, so varauksilla literally means “on the reservations” or “with reservations” when used in reference to plural subjects.

In practice, varauksilla is used to describe the status or location of multiple items that are reserved. It is common in hospitality, event planning, conference centers, and other scheduling contexts to indicate that resources are currently booked or earmarked for a certain time or purpose. The expression does not convey tense by itself; it signals a state related to bookings.

Examples of usage include:

- Huoneet ovat varauksilla. (The rooms are reserved.)

- Useat tilat ovat varauksilla. (Several facilities are booked.)

- Varauksilla olevat aikaväliä koskevat tiedot kannattaa tarkistaa. (Information relating to the reserved time period should be checked.)

Varauksilla can also appear as part of noun phrases such as varauksilla olevat tilat (the rooms that are on reservations) or in more formal or written contexts to emphasize the status of reservations. For learners, alternatives like varatut or varattuja are common when describing booked items in everyday speech.
